See if you can find a RWD Isuzu Impulse 2.0L motor. They are the same block (with punched out cylinders) as the stock engine, but the camshaft angle is corrected (stock Luv engines were retarded 4 deg).

The water pumps, head gaskets, intake manifolds, everything is all the same. Only differences in the two were the pistons, rings, camshaft.

If you can then find the Holley / Weber 2 bbl from a Pinto and get the adapter plate, you've got a screaming monster of an engine. JC Whitney still sells the dual port headers for the stock Luv as well.
